Historical sources agree on the identity of Ham's Fork as a station, including the 1861 mail contract. [75] David Lewis, a Scottish Mormon, managed station operations with his two wives and large family. [76] Franzwa lists Ham's Fork Crossing in his Oregon Trail maps, but he does not specifically identify it as any type of station. [77]
